Yes, summer is nipping at our well-pedicured heels! That doesn’t mean that we have to sacrifice our love of color and products because of the heat! You can be light and love it if you follow a couple of simple tips and tricks.

Our monthly columnist, celebrity makeup artist and ahead-of-the-trend-setter Kerry Malouf says, “Color is always in style when it comes to a warm summer day.” Malouf does acknowledge that there are two cardinal rules for summer beauty: “Summertime is the time to keep it colorful and protect our skin! Which means we can keep it simple!”

Malouf recently worked on a shoot for WOO and these photos show how a little color can go a long, long way.

“BECCA’S makeup palette is just a magnet for attention,” Malouf gushed. “It really is meant to enable women enhance their beauty without losing their naturalness.” It’s crucial to remain natural-looking with light makeup during the dog days of summer and maintaining a streamlined makeup bag and face will take you through to September.
